Was there anyone more stylish than Rachel on Friends in the 90s? Not really. And her style was surprisingly diverse, but always on point. I decided to copy this look as it seemed the most "Rachel" and "Bloomingdales stylist". I was never a Friend-aholic, but I did enjoy the show. It's one of those that you could catch on TV, not be entirely sure of the plot and still enjoy the show. It's funny. Pivot! Personally, I was always a fan of the leather pants episode (sidenote--note Ross' girlfriend's velvet dress . . . and I literally have a nearly identical one . . . from Hot Topic in the 90s).

Was there a better show to capture teenage angst than My So Called Life? Answer: No. Not ever. I am still amazed, to this day, that that show did not last more than one season. I was obsessed with it. Namely, I loved Ricki (named my cat after that guy) and Rayanne. And I used to also obsess over Claire Danes' silky straight hair. How I always longed to have silky, straight hair. Sigh. But in the meantime, at least I have moody clashing outfits.

As if we could do a week of 90s style icons without including the one and only Cher Horowitz. This girl came into my life at 13 and made me realize that I really had an obsession with fashion. Her preppy style is pretty easy to recreate--knee highs, plaid skirt, layered tops, sweaters, button-down shirts, leafers, platforms--check, check, check! The gang's all here!
